Fuel Refinery can't make LiquidFuel if Oxidizer is full #602

Closed LouisB3 closed 8 years ago

LouisB3 commented 8 years ago

The Fuel Refinery won't convert Water to LiquidFuel unless there is space to store Oxidizer as well. This is an issue when using MKS to fuel LF-only ships (nuclear thermal rockets and jet engines).

There are at least a couple of ways to resolve this:

1) Add converter to produce LF only, like stock ISRU 2) Set DumpExcess=True for Oxidizer in the LFO converter

Hmm. I hope that whatever solves this issue can also be applied on https://github.com/BobPalmer/MKS/issues/550

On a related note, only 2/3 of the water by mass is converted to LFO. (And less than 5% of the water's mass is converted if you select LH2.)

Edit: more mass conversion weirdness! Using the centrifuge to convert Uraninite to EnrichedUranium results in products that are 146% the mass of the raw materials.

Obviated by deprecation of fuel refinery.
